Not so much dying of love but being run over by a steam roller

Numerous observers testify to a tremendous technique when young. He still had elements of it when old - listen to his improvisations on popular tunes or his Dohnanyi g minor etude - staggering.

bestest of him

Me sorprende que tanta belleza haya salido del ser humano

And back again. I never left.

Wow,great technique,

Impressive indeed, but how reliable a document of his actual performance can it be? There's plenty of convincing rubato, yes, but also some crazy mechanical sounding prestissimo tempi. Hard to know. Certainly more persuasive than so many of his late-in-life tortured elongations.

This is the first recording ive heard when he wasn't a old man....well he was a great talent and pianist,the technique is heroic as well as the temperment...

Sounds like a very passionate Diarrhea and vomit of sounds... I want to like it but it's gross as it can be. He decided to throw his grate talent to the toilet of the audience in a very vulgar way and present it as something magical and extraordinary. Sad ...

Learning the tertio/terzo part right now and it's amazing

Underrated

I am a big fan of Ferenc Fricsay, I already have this recording on cd.

What is this shit? So awful...

The pianist is drunk ?

That was GENUIS! And to see that it was improvised?!?! OMG I’m blown away!!! You my friend have some serious talent and skill! You absolutely killed it!

Nice!

sounds like chopin, i like it

Awesome!

This recording appears to be from the later years when he couldn't play.

02:57 04:01 06:05

WOW!!! there was a time when he sounded like this.. unbelievable..

Magnifica interpretazione di una musica unica nella sua bellezza . L’ispirazione deve essere stata una emozione particolare.

At first, it sounds ugly and repulsive, but then the music grows and evolves into something triumphant and glorious at the end.

И через сто лет, конечно, кто-то еще услышит эту замечательную песню. Люблю.....

Ervin.....

Amazing

Si vous aimez ce génie faites le découvrir autour de vous . Faire connaître les enregistrements de Fricsay est un merveilleux cadeau. Chef sublime .

I‘m 99% sure this is sped up :D would love to hear it in the original speed..

Wow aforementioned no comparison ever

So Wagnerian

Fun fact : Rachmaninoff can play this piece using only his left hand

8:28

Where can I get the music sheet??

Some parts are totally not for my taste, but my god, how he makes piano cry with passion at 0:50

What might Liszt say?

Just beautiful.

2:32

😍

Amazing that the title of the piece can be questioned when it is clearly and correctly posted above. The piano is of course in abysmal condition, and this not one of Nyiregyhazi's better performances, but does show sensitivity and dynamic range in the last minute or so.

An example of what EN could do in his prime.

I cried

The magic of Rachmaninoff's sentimentality💕Enchantig performance of great Maestro Svetlanov💕

<3

A brilliant exposition of the soul

Sheer and utter untempered passion

Hungarians folksongs comes from centralasia and They Dont used piano. This Dont sounds hungarian folksongs at all. This sounds shit!

💟💟💟

THIS IS THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THIS WORK! NO OTHER CONDUCTOR EVEN COMES CLOSE!!!

Just about the last recorded struggle from Nyiregyhazi. (The performance and photo are from Japan in 1982, I think.) But the colors, conception, and pacing make most other pianists sound like they are just skimming through the piece.

So emotional these pictures of his private life!
